&lt;!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL INITIAL CAPS:

  1.  Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
  2.  Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document  --&gt;

&lt;!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document  --&gt;

&lt;HEAD&gt;

&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"&gt;
&lt;!-- Original:  William Humphreys (billy@technical-solutions.co.uk) --&gt;

&lt;! &gt;
&lt;! &gt;

&lt;!-- Begin
function changeCase(frmObj) {
var index;
var tmpStr;
var tmpChar;
var preString;
var postString;
var strlen;
tmpStr = frmObj.value.toLowerCase();
strLen = tmpStr.length;
if (strLen &gt; 0)  {
for (index = 0; index &lt; strLen; index++)  {
